The data supporting ISO 639-6 is being researched and compiled by [[GeoLang]] on behalf of the [[British Standards Institution]] (BSI). ISO 693-6 was published in 2009.[http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail?csnumber=43380]

==Language search==
The page http://www.geolang.com/iso639-6/ has a field "Language Reference Name (part or whole)", but it does not bring results for "Ottoman" despite that when searching for "Turkish" in the same field one gets results that contain the string "Ottoman" in the field "Language Reference Name".

Same applies when searching for "English" - this brings only two hits. But when searching "engs" in the "Alpha-4 Parent ID (exact)"-field many more entries containing the term "English" are shown.

==Alpha-4 IDs==
The "Alpha-4 ID" and "Alpha-4 Parent ID" fields on the website contain also alpha-3 codes (three digit alpha codes).

==More details==
As of 2012-08-06 the links in the result lists labeled "more details" return a page

==Scripts identified by language codes==
http://www.geolang.com/iso639-6/
searching "Language Reference Name (part or whole)" for Turkish, gives six results:
* Turkish
* Turkish Spoken
* Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928)
* Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Armenian Script
* Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Hellenic Script
* Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Perso-Arabic Script

If scripts are identified by the language codes, then the codes of ISO 15924 are superfluous for the last three.
